belt during a collision, do not recline the

seat more than necessary.

If the seat is too reclined, the lap belt may

slide past the hips and apply restraint

forces directly to the abdomen, or your

neck may contact the shoulder belt,

increasing the risk of death or serious

injury in the event of an accident.

Adjustments should not be made while

driving as the seat may unexpectedly

move and cause the driver to lose control

of the vehicle.

■

Using the ottoman (if equipped)

belt cannot be fitted properly, and they
may be thrown from the seat, resulting in
death or serious injury in the event of an
accident or sudden braking.

retract the ottoman. If the ottoman is

not retracted, it may cause a fall, result-

ing in injury.

●
